Dublin's suburban roots are highlighted in museum exhibit

DUBLIN — This town's transformation from cattle range to suburbs in the 1960s is depicted in an exhibit in the little classroom at the Dublin Heritage Park and Museums at the corner of Donlon Way and Dublin Boulevard.

On display are photos by Billy Owens, acclaimed for his images of East Bay suburban life, and advertising materials from early Dublin subdivisions, such as San Ramon Village, that opened in 1961.

The exhibit is free and on display through June 30. Museum hours are from 1 to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, and from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday. Group tours can be arranged by calling 925-452-2101.
